Santa Fe :: (Barrington)

Here, if you keep your eyes open and are lucky, you'll see the Santa Fe land iguana, found nowhere else in the world. It's an arduous trek to the highlands, but well worth it.

The Santa Fe land iguanas aren't nearly as colorful as the iguanas on Plazas, but they're big and fun to watch. This is also a great place for snorkeling. The waters in the cove are a radiant green, and here you can see sea turtles gracefully swimming by. There's also a big colony of sea lions - something you'll never tire of seeing in the Galapagos.

Walk through a forest of giant Opuntia Cactus to find the special land iguanas, different from the species found on South Plaza. There is normally time for a swim in crystal clear water with colorful fish, sea turtles, and schools of manta rays.
